Daniel Roth is widely acclaimed as one of the leading French organ virtuosos of our time. Since 1985 he has been the Titular Organist at St. Sulpice in Paris, where the illustrious list of his predecessors includes Charles-Marie Widor and Marcel Dupré. His recital will consist exclusively of French music and an improvisation, for which he is justly renowned.
This program is dedicated to the memory of Fenner Douglass, former University Organist and a respected scholar of French organs and organ literature.

Organ Recital
Iain Quinn, the young Welsh organist whose playing has been described as “brilliant” and “enthralling,” garners critical praise for his performances of both standard and contemporary works, as well as unusual and unpublished repertoire. Since 2005 he has served as Director of Music at the Cathedral Church of St. John in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His program, performed on the newly restored Aeolian organ, will be a rare presentation of Charles Tournemire’s Seven Last Words of Christ interspersed with the corresponding biblical narration.
